"The Best Circuit In The World" - Gerhard Berger Paddock Hill Bend, Druids Hairpin, Hawthorn Bend and Clearways, all names synonymous with one of Britains most famous race tracks. Brands Hatch, a 2.4 mile track in the Southern England county of Kent has been a popular staple of British and World motorsport at the location since the 1920's. Built in a natural amphetheater, the hills at Brands give the spectator an unrivalled viewing experience, sitting at the the top of the hill on the Brabham Straight give the spectator a clear view of almost all of the Brands Hatch Indy circuit. Into the trees continues the Grand Prix circuit, which has hosted the British Grand Prix and the European Grand Prix from 1964 to 1986, with British driver Nigel Mansell getting his first win at the track in the 1985 European Grand Prix. The track, immortalised in many a racing game has now come to Auto Club Revolution. With precision Laser Scanning, Eutechnyx have created a very faithful and accurate rendition of the legendary track. Below is the press release and a video from Eutechnyx. AUTO CLUB REVOLUTION ADDS BRANDS HATCH Free to play racing title uses laser scanning to add iconic British track October 10, 2013 - Auto Club Revolution, a free to play PC racing title developed and published by Eutechnyx, has announced the addition of the iconic British racing track, Brands Hatch. Referred to as “the best circuit in the world” by Formula 1 legend Gerhard Berger, Brands Hatch is the first track to be included in Auto Club Revolution which has been reproduced using laser scanning technology. Laser scanning entails a greater depth of data to be recorded, analyzed and recreated. Building on traditional forms of data collating, including CAD, satellite and telemetry data, laser scanning uses an advanced mapping system that creates a highly detailed, high resolution point cloud. This point cloud helps the 3D modelling team to pin point track height and depths but also the racing environment, showing the exact positions, depths and angles of curbs, paint, tree barriers and fences. This extra level of detail allows for a true recreation of the track, making it 100% accurate. “We are delighted to add the iconic and challenging Brands Hatch to our section of licensed tracks in Auto Club Revolution,” commented Mark Barton, Creative Manager at Eutechnyx. “By using laser scanning technology, we have been able to add a much greater level of detail to the track, giving our fans a realistic experience as possible through a free-to-play game.” Auto Club Revolution will feature 2 routes around Brands Hatch, with both the Grand Prix and Indy routes being open for racing from launch. This starts a campaign of regular updates for the game over the coming weeks and months, with additional cars and further tracks due for release. Auto Club Revolution is a free-to-play PC title.
